Hey @gzachariadis, maybe this will help you. You can set the KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME
environment variable for your user in a number of ways.
Firstly, run the following from a PowerShell terminal:
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME',"$Env:USERPROFILE\.config\komorebi", 'User')
Note: that this will store the expanded form of your user home folder in the variable. This is required because windows (at least on cmd) evaluates environment variables in alphabetical (lexicographical) order. This means that a value like %USERPROFILE%/.config/komorebi
won't expand correctly because KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME
comes before USERPROFILE
alphabetically.
Secondly, as you mentioned, from the windows GUI. This is not the best solution, as it cannot be scripted easily. Here is an article on how to do it.
Finally, you can use a third party program like Rapid Environment Editor for a different GUI.
Don't forget to restart any terminals after applying those changes.
After doing any of those, you shouldn't need to add the --config
flag to the .lnk
in the start folder. I also believe that setting "app_specific_configuration_path": "$Env:KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME/applications.yaml"
in your komorebi.json
should also work after doing this.
Describe the bug
I followed the video guide from Youtube and copied the commands from Common Workflows - KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME trying to switch my config folder from the
C:\Users\Username
(home folder) toC:\Users\Username\.config\komorebi
at minute 4:20 in the video, a change to theapp_specific_configuration_path
is displayed from$Env:USERPROFILE/applications.yaml
to$Env:KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME
.That seems to work when running manually the instance from Powershell, but the enable-autostart command had problems with my configuration. After playing around with it for a bit, I managed to fix the
.ink
shortcut, but switching back to the$Env:USERPROFILE/applications.yaml
inside my komorebi.json.The execution of this command is now
C:\Users\Username\scoop\apps\komorebi\current\komorebic-no-console.exe start --config C:\Users\Username\.config\komorebi\komorebi.json --ahk
this seems to work for me.In case anyone else has a problem with the autostart, try running the command inside the
.ink
using Command Prompt, if it runs, that means next time you login, chances are it will work. Tinker with your configuration if it doesn't.On the same point, running
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
or setting it to something likeSet-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Restricted -Scope LocalMachine
had no difference to me, both run the`.ink
shortcut perfectly, on my computer startup.To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
$Env:KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME
instead of$Env:USERPROFILE/applications.yaml
.C:\Users\Username\scoop\apps\komorebi\current\komorebic-no-console.exe start --config C:\Users\Username\.config\komorebi\komorebi.json --ahk
.Expected behavior
I was not sure how to set the
KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME
Environment variable for Command Prompt, aka the whole Computer, by using the GUI for Environment Variables through Windows, so I am guessing that was my fault.In case someone can provide another way to set an Environment Variable both for Powershell and Command Prompt, without using the
$PROFILE
that would be ideal.Operating System
